Flora Octopus Brooch

Flora Octopus

The Flora Octopus Brooch fuses contemporary jewelry with embroidered sculpture, presenting a lightweight yet voluminous form inspired by imagined marine life. Instead of conventional metals or stones, it employs recycled threads and organza to create texture, fluidity, and organic movement. The three-dimensional embroidery construction reflects sustainability and innovation, while the vivid interplay of colors transforms thread into a sculptural medium. This brooch serves as both ornament and statement, highlighting artistry and ecological awareness in contemporary jewelry.

Flora Octopus Brooch by Nana Watanabe has been recognized as a grand illustration of fashion design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Flora Octopus Brooch earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Jewelry Design in 2026. The A' Jewelry Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design award that rewards exceptional design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
